Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, A Nuyorican Tale, the new recording from bassist Carlos Henriquez is a perfect fit. Following in the footsteps of his Grammy-nominated 2021 album, The South Bronx Story, A Nuyorican Tale is an insightful and grooving history lesson, As Carlos says, "After you listen to these Latin jazz interpretations of the stories that are the pinnacle and representation of my life, you will get the sense of the importance of my people, their culture and what they've provided via their stories and music to our city."
From Monday, October 2 through Friday, October 6, one cut from the A Nuyorican Tale album will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
Preview “Nuyorican Soul” from A Nuyorican Tale, above.
